Google analytics with rails 4

Question

I am having a bit of difficulty implementing google analytics to my rails 4 project. I included the tracking code to the bottom of my layouts file and have even tried to rem

Answer 1

I used this gem and was very easy to set up. No extra .js file creation. Rails 3 helpers to manage google analytics tracking. Mostly intended for small to medium websites.

Just install the gem:

gem 'google-analytics-rails', '1.1.0'

Then run:

bundle install

Finally, this goes @ the production environment configuration:

Production only config/environments/production.rb:

# replace this with your tracker code
GA.tracker = "UA-112233-4"

app/views/layout/application.html.erb, in the tag :

<%= analytics_init if GoogleAnalytics.valid_tracker? %>

I saw results immediately after pushing to Heroku.
